text, @TARANTO, day after the saloon fire

[heavyhitter]

hey guys guess what: blankets!!! me and TF to the fucking rescue, we rustled up like 40 of these bad boys
super cozy, some nice patterns. one of them has a robot wolf on it
it was also all entirely legal

they're ALMOST free, all you gotta do is tell me a story then come get one (i'm by those spiky ass fat plants that bleed if you knock them over)

also since i have 40 and there's more than 40 of us, i guess also pick someone to get cozy with

I didn't realize you two were so well-acquainted. Nicely done, in any case.

[ Legality aside. ]

[heavyhitter]

oh, yeah, we're besties [ apparently ]
productive besties looking out for audentes' well being

[respired]

[ Dryly. ]

Yes. Selfless is the first thing that comes to mind when I think of either of you.

[fateality]

Koltira, are you implying I would ever do anything selfishly?
A man could be insulted.

[respired]

He could be. But I suspect that he is not.

[fateality]

Luckily, your suspicions are correct.
Anyway, I don't suspect you need a blanket. But maybe anything else?

[respired]

You have the right of it, too.

[ But ... he raises an eyebrow. ]

You could tell me how you came by so many blankets.

[fateality]

I asked a gentleman real nicely to help us out.

[respired]

[ It's audio, but he has the most deadpan expression possible right now. ]

I have doubts.

[fateality]

You would doubt Ramir and me?

[respired]

Constantly.

[ Literally any day of the week. ]

[fateality]

So cold. I thought you liked me.

[respired]

You have your moments.

[ Smile. ]

[fateality]

What high praise. I'll take it, I suppose.

[respired]

[ It's the highest praise he can offer ... in public, anyway. He makes a 'hmnh' noise in his throat. ]

Very gracious. I'll see you soon, Fate.

[fateality]

That so? Guess I'll be seeing you.

[heavyhitter]

aw thanks, i always knew you had a good opinion of me
i can always count on you to lavish the compliments

[respired]

I have a very high opinion of you, Ramir. But you have a tendency towards chicanery.

[ As does Fate over there. Shenanigans multiplied. ]

[heavyhitter]

that's some fucking slander right there, wow
i am a young woman of upstanding moral character, people compliment me on it all the time

[respired]

Anyone I've met?

[ GENTLY TEASING, of a kind he never would have tried in months past. ]

[heavyhitter]

yeah everyone in town, all the qorrals
literally all of them, they've all come up to me and said it at one point
just ask

[ so, you know, no one on the network that might pop up to refute a namedrop ]

[respired]

Hmm. Shall I ask the quilter for his opinion, then?

[heavyhitter]

uh no not him
he said it earlier but i think maybe his opinion may have changed since then
